For now, I'll just say that the information has helped me realise that not only do you have to sit down and type away, word after word, sentence following from the next, but there has to be a sound structure to the writing, otherwise, the story falls flat.
I have begun to notice this in the books I now read, and I hope that skill will transpose to my own ability to objectively edit my stories. I'm very much on a steep learning curve: one that I am enjoying, but also striving for perfection - is there ever such a thing in one's writing?

Hi Allie,
I'm a fellow campaigner and look forward to reading more posts. As for rewrites, I think you have to lock yourself in a room and fall in love with the story all over again and then it's easier to have a clearer idea of how to proceed. At least that's what works for me.
That's really great advice. And key is that you have to find the story you can fall in love with.
Thanks. I look forward to connecting some more with you.
